NFL Franchise Values Revealed: Dallas Cowboys Lead Rankings with $9 Billion
Annual Report by Sportico Ranks NFL Teams Based on Market Value
In a recent annual report conducted by Sportico, the valuation of NFL franchises has been unveiled, shedding light on the dollar amounts that define their value in the sports realm.
Sportico’s comprehensive breakdown provides a detailed insight into the intricate calculations used to determine the market worth of each of the NFL’s 32 teams. The valuation of NFL franchises draws from various metrics reflecting football-team transactions, encompassing the amalgamation of local and national revenues. A crucial component is the integration of a team-specific multiplier. It’s important to note that this valuation represents the market value of the teams themselves, excluding any affiliated businesses owned by the team proprietors. Furthermore, the evaluation includes the assessed value of every franchise’s 3.13% stake in the league’s assets, such as NFL Network, NFL RedZone, and its digital platforms. These assets are acquired or relinquished concurrently with the sale of a team.
At the pinnacle of the ranking stands the renowned Dallas Cowboys, surging past the remarkable threshold of $9 billion. This spectacular valuation places them amongst the most esteemed sports franchises globally, transcending the bounds of any league.
Notably, the neighboring Sofi Stadium residents, the Los Angeles Rams under the ownership of Stan Kroenke, claim the third position with a staggering valuation of $6.94 billion. In contrast, the Chargers, who share the same market and stadium as the Rams, secure the 18th spot on the list, commanding a valuation of $4.63 billion under the ownership of the Spanos family.
Toward the bottom of the valuation spectrum lie the Jacksonville Jaguars, a recent playoff contender for the Chargers. Shad Khan’s ensemble is appraised at $4.04 billion, securing its position as the second lowest valued NFL franchise. Just above them on the list is Cincinnati, whose valuation concludes at $4 billion.
The Chargers, despite sharing both market and stadium with the Rams, trail significantly behind their fellow Los Angeles NFL counterpart. A plausible explanation for this divergence could be attributed to the Rams’ impressive Super Bowl achievements over the past five seasons, in stark contrast to the Chargers’ relatively limited playoff victories.
As anticipation mounts for the upcoming regular season, the spotlight shifts to quarterback Justin Herbert and his team, who aspire to rewrite the narrative and overcome historical disparities in the league. With just a few weeks left until the commencement of the regular season, fans await the exhilarating journey that lies ahead.
